Mayhem and chaos seemed to be the overall theme of the evening, causing multitudes of people to flood the streets of Oak. They were all attempting to flee from something, or someone. Jian wasn't exactly sure what was happening, all he was aware of was how terrified these people seemed to be about what was going on. Cries and screams could be heard from everywhere, and as he took a step outside the restaurant with a few other patrons in order to observe, he was able to see that flames appeared to be lighting up the night sky.
While flames could have simply been an indication that some sort of fire had broken out would have been the best assumption, these flames weren't the sort that you'd usually see in such a case. While they held the appearance of flames, they were also tinged with a white color. It was more than obvious that these flames were magical in nature. This, coupled with the fact that these flames appeared to be firing off in regular intervals, cause Jian to reach the conclusion that there was some sort of struggle going on.
Currently, his position wasn't too far away from the location that the flames seemed to be spawning from. He was, maybe, two or so blocks away now. While many would have used this information to plot a way to evade the situation entirely, Jian found himself feeling obligated to checking out the situation. He wasn't sure what was going on, but Oak had recently become a place with a spot in his heart. He'd check out the situation, weapon in hand, and see if there was anything that he could do to assist in the ending of it.
Upon nearing the area, Jian found himself making left turn onto the next block, only to find himself looking at carnage the likes of which he'd never seen. Dead bodies were strewn every which way; blood literally ran red through the streets. He could feel the emotion known as fear beginning to rear it's ugly head. Feelings of dread caused his body to tremble slightly as he started to grip his spear even harder than he had prior. What was all of this? Who could have done this?
The answer to all of these questions stood at a distance of about seven meters away from his current positioning. The unknown man stood with his back to Jian, and appeared to be facing down a Knight. It was easy to surmise that this unknown man had been the perpetrator behind all of this, given the fact that every other victim here appeared to be dressed with the same sort of garbs. This man was the only odd one out. Time to act was quickly approaching for Jian, and as the man in front of him began to speak about an organization, he decided it was prudent that he act before the man finished. While he wasn't sure that anything would occur after these words, it was never wise to allow a "villain" to finish their monologue. With this many bodies laid about the battlefield, he was sure nothing positive would come about.
With the fear he held before held at bay, Jian was now ready to take action; his right arm rising above his head with his spear in tow. He steadily held the balance point of the spear as he simultaneously positioned his body in a manner that would fully contribute to the action he'd soon take on in throwing his weapon - this happening in only a moment prior to Jian's step forward, which would then translate into a dash. The speed of this dash would be becoming of his full capabilities, and occur whilst this mysterious individual still continued to speak; yet, towards the tail end of his sentence.
With his upper body contorted to his right, he quickly shifted it back to his left; using the violent jerking motion to give the spear the energy it needed to sail through the air after loosing his grip on it. This release took place at a distance of five meters from the target's position, and before white flames would engulf his hand. He'd calculated the adequate angle and height of the throw that would be necessary for the pointed blade of his spear to impact the back of his target. If the target wasn't able to evade this attack, the damage dealt would be enough to penetrate the back and pierce his heart. However, it was highly unlikely that evasion would become a possibility, as he was more than sure his target would be distracted by the roots that had sprang from beneath his position prior to the loosing of the spear. The time-frame in which all of these actions would occur was extremely tight, thus even a minor distraction would prove to be fatal for this criminal. While he waited for the attack to possibly land, he also made sure to ready himself for any sort of counterattack that could possibly occur - either by his "opponent" or any other individual that could decide to enter the fray. He was on full alert, even enough so that he'd activated yet another spell by employing the actions required.
- 800/850:
Name: Netsumegusa (Claw-Root Herb)
Rank: D
Mana Cost: 25
Requirements: Nature Magic
Type: Supplementary
Element: Nature
Range: 5 Meters
Cooldown: 1 Posts
Duration: Sustain
Effect: Upon taking a step, a root is discreetly dispersed from the heel of Jian's foot/shoe and into the ground below him. The root burrows deep enough so that it isn't perceived by the target as it travels towards them via disturbing the ground above. The durability of the Claw-Root Herb is such that it can burrow through almost any type of earthen or rock-like material. As it travels, the thorned vine-like root splits into two, and once within range of the target, these two appendages surface from below the ground with the intent of binding the opponent - usually targeting the lower body independently from one another. Target needs strength equal to the level of the spell to escape.
Name: Kajukai Kōrin (Deep Forest Bloom)
Rank: D
Mana Cost: 25
Requirements: Nature Magic
Type: Supplementary
Element: Nature
Range: 1 meter diameter
Cooldown: 1 Posts
Duration: Sustain
Effect: This spell activates as Jian opens his mouth and lets out a deep exhalation of air. Upon activation, Jian begins to emit pollen, microscopic in size, that will instantly fill the area specified within the range of this spell. The pollen gives Jian the ability to passively sense all within the scope of this spell; giving him information on anything that moves/disturbs the the pollen. In many ways, this gives him a sense akin to sonar - allowing him to paint a mental image of what's currently within the range of this spell. If this pollen should be breathed in by anyone, it doesn't cause them any harm.
